I just watched the disturbing and condemnable scenes captured in a circulating video, showing 124 protesters—among them minors—appearing in court today as part of efforts to secure the enforcement of their fundamental rights.

The footage reveals minors, some so weak that they could barely stand, others fainting from sheer exhaustion and lack of nourishment. These children appeared visibly malnourished and starved—a condition that should alarm the conscience of every citizen in our nation.

From their look, they were poorly handled despite being in the custody of the federal government of Nigeria.

The offense being alleged against these suspects, including minors, is protesting against bad governance that was directly affecting their livelihood and which our constitution under a democratic dispensation guarantees them. Curiously, most of the people in government today leveraged this aspect of the Constitution standing as champions of good governance while in opposition.

Moreover, our status presumes that suspects deserve some dignity, even in a correctional home as human beings.

The reason why we should all be concerned about a situation like this is because we are part of a global community where human dignity should be respected.

May I appreciate the presiding lordship for halting the trial and saving the country further embarrassment it would have been to the World as a democratic nation?

I would like to call on relevant authorities, especially the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of the Federation, the Police, and the DSS, as well as the National Human Rights Commission, to thoroughly investigate such inhuman treatment of minors to avert such incidents in the future. -PO

I know O

Starving Northern children in prison because they protested against the present government is the worst crime this istration has committed against the North... Yes it has done so many bad things to the North

But this, this one takes the cake


Tinubu should know that the North re

That's the pitiful condition we find ourselves in now.

Everything about Nigeria seems to be falling apart, and everyone is eerily silent.

It'll take 40 years to undo the damage the APC government has done to Nigeria's state and institutions.

Looking at the kids, it makes the heart break.

The judiciary is dangerously broken. The prosecution team should just find something else to do joo.

Some people are just too heartless.

Almost 20 or so people were mud in the SE in the past few weeks. Peter Obi never sow thread.

Seems other people lives are now more important to him than his fellow Ibo people.

Lastly, the person in charge of taking those children to court need to be fished out and sacked. If they burn down properties, go after their sponsor and deal with them mercilessly. Optics wise, it’s a dent on the government with those small children in court.

They even look like person wey no sabi wetin em dey do.

Will they hear?

Just wait and see how some agbado munching nitwits will come here to insult Obi when there's no any rich man's kid among the arrested.
They will still come here to hail thier oppressors.
May God punish all the Ronu wailing fooools who brought this calamity of a government upon us, even though I can never be directly affected!

"The footage reveals minors, some so weak that they could barely stand, others fainting from sheer exhaustion and lack of nourishment................"


The way Peter Obi dey quick see these things but take several days for him to see the similar events in SE is interesting. Sometimes he doesn't even see at all.

😆

Crimes against humanity

some people go still criticise peter obi

This one no even dey see anything to talk again.

APC

All pain Congress

All pain combination

Coming from a man that used one beast called James Nwafor of SARS to brutalize and silence those that oppose him during his period as a governor.

If you are the president, you can’t do anything different. THERE HAD NEVER BEEN ANY RECORD OF YOU FIGHTING FOR THE MASSES WHEN YOU WERE IN GOVERNMENT. So stop acting like an activist all in the name of canvassing for from the masses.

PDP una dey fall my hand big time. This useless drug addict was sponsoring violent protests against your government during GEJ regime to the extent they toppled the regime and established the APC government. I was expecting to see PDP doing the same now that they are at the other side but no they just kept mute. Useless PDP.

The only voice still crying in the wilderness like in the time of John de Baptist is Obi. God bless okwute. God bless Peter the rock. With Obi we are secured. All the opposition political parties are redundant and useless

Abbeyme:
He should just find something else to do joo. His rhetorics are becoming too boring

Is this foolishness in you hereditary or you copied it from somewhere?

I have asked why this man has not been arrested?



Those igbo children in the court room should be jailed.



Why are you spreading news to tarnish this government our government... yoruba lokan.

8 years will be completed.

Obi the tormentor of idiot, morons and never do wells. The Obi movement will be an Obituary to all Agbado that ed tinubu and all dark forces that have held Nigeria back from realizing it’s potentials as a great country. A new Nigeria is possible with Peter Obi

Idiots will come and cry now. Anytime they hear Peter Obi's name, they go into spastic frenzies.

Lienus hiked tuition fees in Anambra, students protested, some students have 2-3 siblings in same institutions with parents whom Lienus can't pay properly but hiked their fees, they protested, Lienus said education is not for the poor, today, Lienus has become man of the people.
He will not win election with these gimmicks, he should get serious for once.

Yes, he should remain silent, and act a fool like you and allow things to continue deteriorating.

You and others who every evil happening in Nigeria today due to tribalism will reap what you sow.

Too bad

It's well.
